Interdependence of environmental factors influencing reciprocal patterns of gene expression in virulent <i>Borrelia burgdorferi</i>
1 Sept 2000
Abstract excerpt
The paradigm for differential antigen expression in Borrelia burgdorferi, the agent of Lyme disease, is the reciprocal expression of its outer surface (lipo)proteins (Osp) A and C; as B. burgdorferi transitions from its arthropod vector into mammalian tissue, ospC is upregulated, and ospA is downregulated. In the current study, using B. burgdorferi cultivated under varying conditions in BSK-H medium, we found...
